4/10 Weekly Journal

• In my life this week... this has not been a particularly good week. Just a mixture of little things that went wrong that really added up to a yucky week. Our bank account was hacked, some of the kids were sick, crazy week at work and I've just been struggling with an on-going dilemma that I just don't know what to do about. I'm hurt, confused and don't know what to do. I know I should pray and seek wisdom and comfort from God, but I'm just struggling. Why do people have to be so hurtful?

• In our homeschool this week... Yay!! We finished up another huge part of math and language arts. We are inching closer to being done with 8th grade. Such a huge accomplishment, if I do say so myself! The warm weather was nice to get out and enjoy the park for the afternoon and do some studying outside.

• Places we're going and people we're seeing... We've been shopping for our Easter outfits this weekend and was bummed to find our favorite bakery, Paradise Bakery in Greenwood, was closed! Boo!! I guess now I will have to make a trip to Castleton for some of those yummy red velvet cookies. As far as the Easter outfits go, we have 2 of the 3 kids bought for.

• My favorite thing this week... Well, big surprise, but my favorite thing was going to my first yard sale of the season! I'm so ready for all those awesome deals I can hardly stand it!

• What's Rachel and Ryan doing in school... Ryan completed his solar system project. I was pretty impressed with how he learned the order, color and description of the planets. Young minds never cease to amaze me!

• Homeschool questions/thoughts/ideas... I'm really looking into a private high school for Morgan next year. Some of the homeschool websites have been very helpful in recommending some schools to look into. I had never thought about this before! I'm actually pretty excited and I am hopeful that this will be perfect for us. I'm still checking, investigating and praying at this point.
